Ram timings vs Cpu clock speed

[neilnpatel]

hi my situation is that i can only select a certain number of settings because my mobo sucks. Anyway here are the two options.

Motherboard/Shuttle-sn21g5

Ram timings -2-3-3-6 (btw is that good) @200
Cpu speed -4200 x2 @200


Ram timings 2-3-3-8 240 (i dont know why, i cannot choose the ram fsb, its done automatically)
Cpu Speed - 4400 x2 @220

Which setting will give me the biggest speed boost. Thanks

(Also of topic will my pc run crysis:

4200x2
2gb dual channel
7900gt Oced to 720/850
Xp SP2)

actually i can choose certain ram timings i.e-133.166.200.216.233 but dont they have to match the cpu fsb

I think the 2-3-3-8, cpu 4400x2@220 would give a betetr boost? since the ram timings are really tight anyway, goign to 8 wouldnt matter much.

And I'm not sure about crysis. Meyb low-medium settings with AA off at 1028x764 resolution?

get some 2nd opinions on all this tho.

For your question on Crysys... System Requirements Lab Choose Crysis from the dropdown menu.

your system will run crysis yes...the CPU could be a bit faster but it should be sufficient. And the 7900GT at 700mhz+ is quite fast.
